Prior testing and analysis of the HNZ 17-1 in 2014 detected helium concentrations of 4.8 and 9.3 percent from two lower Permian zones between 1,446 feet and 1,619 feet. The current program will test zones ranging from 1,412 feet to 890 feet. Approval has been granted by the Arizona Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to proceed with the above stated operations.
